What are the signs you've noticed that you're getting older?
-
Covid made it especially bad. Covid started five years ago. Started, like we first heard the term "Covid"
-
It's still March... 2020
-
all my friends are either dead or my enemies
-
Hair falling out
-
Currently a 350Z Roadster Touring. But in the past I've had a Genesis Coupe 3.8 BK1, an RSX Type-S, a 3rd gen Eclipse Spyder GT, a second gen 240SX, and an eighth gen Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. All with a manual, of course.
-
Male pattern baldness sucks, esp as a trans girl
Injuries take longer to heal and recovery from the gym is slower
Hangovers now take two days
Skin dries out much faster (though this might be due to E)
-
New technology is harder to adopt.
-
A girl that stopped me on the street to ask directions concluded the exchange with “Thank you sir.”
Also, the waiters now automatically bring the checks to me when I have lunch with coworkers.
-
In the south that’s just being nice, not age
-
I have this theory that, unless it’s an area of interest, professional or otherwise, you stop learning about tech when you leave school.
-
I think they mean specifically to them, and not their coworkers
-
Past 25 I started to realise I couldn't remember everything that everyone had said to me. This was also around the time I developed a social life, so it could just be that my brain had more to manage socially.
Past 30, I stopped caring about appearances so much and started working on developing mental skills. I was able to defend my beliefs better, make more on-the-spur jokes.
Past 35, I no longer care about anything. I have bouts where I'm in interested in building things, or conversing. But now? Eh, work/sleep is enough.
-
This has become my theme song.
-
Children, which to me is everyone born in the 2005+ are already turning 20. Hell, the iPhone can already vote.
-
Yes, all my coworkers, including my managers are now younger than me. So when a manager takes everyone out, the waiters assume that I’m the one treating everyone to lunch.
-
Also, Gangnam style. 13 years ago.
-
62 years old. Boarding just a little (bunny slope) once or twice a year. Heading up next week.
-
My poor wife got shingles at 39 last year. Her doc was like "yeah it's definitely shingles, welcome to firmly middle aged"
-
Congrats on staying in shape. My body is falling apart at 37, because I didn't take care of myself.
-
It was when I tripped and fell over outside my house. The next day my neighbour said, "I hear you had a Fall."
Yes, when you're old you don't fall over, you "have a Fall". Everyone hearing about your Fall will make concerned noises. (I was perfectly fine! I'm not OLD old!)
